The Tiger Who Came To Tea calls at Chesterfield’s Pomegranate Theatre

A tea-guzzling tiger pounces into town for a magical treat for all the family this half-term holiday.

Olivier Award-nominated musical play The Tiger Who Came To Tea is at Chesterfield’s Pomegranate Theatre from Thursday, February 12, to Sunday, February 15.

Adapted and directed by David Wood from Judith Kerr’s ferociously popular story, this is the perfect way to show the whole family how to behave the next time a tiger rings your doorbell!

When Sophie and her mummy welcome the hungry Tiger to tea, he proceeds to eat all the sandwiches, buns, biscuits and more. And even manages to the drink all the water in the tap! What will Sophie’s daddy say when he gets home?

The Tiger Who Came To Tea is the perfect slice of teatime mayhem with sing-a-long songs, oodles of magic and interactive fun for children of three years and upwards and their families.

David Wood is the country’s leading writer and director of plays and musicals for children, whose many successes include: Spot’s Birthday Party, eight Roald Dahl adaptations, including West End hits The BFG, The Witches and George’s Marvellous Medicine, and Goodnight Mister Tom which was the Olivier Award-winner 2013 for Best Entertainment and Family.

Performances of The Tiger Who Came To Tea are at 1pm on February 12, 10.30am and 1.30pm on February 13 and 11am and 2pm on February 14 and 15. Tickets at £12.50, contact 01246 345 222 or www.chesterfieldtheatres.co.uk.
